The officer was killed in rural property

Police says a 57 -year -old Australian police officer was shot dead on rural property in Tasmania while he was serving to clarify the house.

Tasmania police said in a statement that the officer arrived at a house in the north of Mutun, near the town of Olverson, on Monday morning when he was expelled by “a member of the public.”

The second police officer returned the fire, injuring the suspect’s hand. The police said the suspect had surrendered and later obtained the hospital treatment.

Female dead fires are still rare in Australia, which has strict weapons laws.

After the shooting on Monday, a crime theater was created in North Motun and the criminal investigative judge was notified, a police spokesman said, adding that “there is no constant threat to the public.”

“The safety of our officers is our first priority, and the vision of an officer is tragicly killed in these circumstances, a truly shock,” Police Commissioner Donna Adams told reporters later on Monday.

“We know that the police can be risky, but we expect every officer to end his conversion and return to their families.”

Adams said that the police did not call the officer to respect his family, as some family members were not informed after his death.

She described it as a “reliable and 25 -year -old police officer.”

Adams said that he was accompanying him “a senior sergeant and experienced” on Monday morning “to submit an accredited order from the court to pay off a house.

She added that the officer was shot while he was shot from his car to the front of the house. She also praised his colleague, who was able to invite help while “developing danger and risks.”

Ms. Adams said that the investigations into the accident were underway.

Police also said that luxury support was provided to those involved and was affected.

In a statement, Prime Minister Tasmania, Jeremy Rockel, described the incident as “a tragic tragedy.”

For everyone who honored the knowledge of this officer, especially his family and colleagues … the love of an entire country with you today. “

The shootings are relatively rare in Australia, which introduced some of the world’s most firearm regulations after 35 people were killed in a massacre by a single gunman in Port Arthur, Tasmania, in 1996.
